[quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind that your mother will only be eligible for Medicaid after spending down her assets if her income (pension + SS) is less than the limit in your state. In Virginia in 2023, the income was $2,742/month. It sounds like your mom may be above that with her pension. There might be ways around it if her income is higher, but you would need to consult an attorney to figure that out. My MIL is on long term care Medicaid and it was actually not very difficult for her to qualify at all. Her case was pretty cut and dried, though. She was discharged to a nursing home after a hospital stay. She had just SS, little savings, and did not own a house. We spent down the savings with a funeral trust and through private paying at the nursing home for maybe one month, and by that point she was below the $2k asset limit and qualified. So this is to give hope to people with simple Medicaid cases. If you truly have nothing Medicaid does not have to be hard to qualify for.[/quote]
